Remington 700 Classic?
- Thread starter Michael Priddy
- Start date
Next years Classic will be a special edition.
The drilling and tapping will be done on a right angle to the receiver and to the correct depth with clean taps. This will mark a departure from Remington's usual procedure of whatever looks good and a return to the 'classic' procedure. This should make a visit to a local gunsmith much less necessary.
The muzzle will be clean and true, not the typical 'fell of a table and onto a concrete floor' approach to finishing the crown of the barrel.
The stock will be properly fitted with no gaps or obvious flaws. This level of attention will only appear on the Classic.
All chambers will be concentric with the bore, a return to the classic form of barrel making. Again, this feature will only be available on the Classic, all other models will continue to be non-concentric.
Caliber? Took a bit to get here but I'd bet .270.

700 classic in 300wtb...last monday I took the two fouling shots followed by five for effect. The five were 1.5" above the bull and actualy covered them with a quarter. Not bad for a slap together junker shooting those inaccurate Barnes-x bullets with max loads. Of course those fine crosshairs on the Redfield Ultimate Illuminator that cover about 3/4 in at 100 had to help to. Just another jerk behinde the trigger, beertrucker-x

Correct me if I am wrong the Rem classic was never chambered in 308Win.IF I am right on this,don't you think it is about time they did? And I wonder why they never did, as popular as the 308win is.Does anyone have any comments on that? Next year they are going to bring one out in 338-06.JUST KIDDING.Maybe someone ought to ask them to?What do you think?
